I wonder if we'll get to see Barbara Gordon, too. Maybe she's Oracle by now?

They should merge all the shows into CW's version of "Justice League." Crossover was so much more fun to watch.

Where was Nora during all this?

TBH, I just started watching again to see Batwoman, I'm really excited and will continue watching.

They are getting the licenses pretty fast. They're paying a fortune to have them but it seems it's working.

New Year's Eve "Twilight Zone" marathon!

ETA: I'm finding a lot of these really relatable...
ETA2: "To Serve Man" and "Living Doll" will wrap the marathon for me.

It was released in May. They kept it in theaters for a long time.

I actually watched, and this is really lame to some, the live action version of Cinderella with my Daughter. I don't like going out on amature night and i was sick on Christmas so i wanted to spend a Holiday with my kid.

Ok, i straight up might be wrong. They've gone through several generations and i bought a second generation that needed 2 HDMI ports (One for the Occulus and one for the HDMI monitor, but there's another kind of funky monitor connection. If your BF has this rig, he might be ok, But you'll need to look at the connections. If his monitor needs an HDMI port, you're out of luck.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (6GB)

50738

This card (at over 300$) is low end for the Occulus.

Update:

You were right, you need 2 HDMI ports for the Oculus Rift. My video card has one HDMI port and 3 display ports. So I bought a display port to HDMI converter and it worked great. But there not really a lot of games to choose.

Actually hard an argument with someone about this, because they just couldn't understand why their Tesla still had a lower tow capacity rating than a half ton pickup in spite of this. So, that just made my day. I know fuck all about the latest fantasy series on TV or video games... you won't find a single console anywhere in this house. Blame it on my Mennonite roots. Some of the girls want a PS4, and they're perfectly free to get one, but I won't contribute to it, so they'll have to suffer my whims for the time being.
But this... it's times like this when I get to don my nerd cap. And, at the end of it, everyone is stunned and they collectively say, "Marissa... I think you need a hobby".

So into the spider-verse. I know it's just another multiverse story and a family rated one, but OMG the visuals were amazing, the animation is this odd feeling of CG, Stopmotion, hand drawn, hell even puppetry like effects....and every spider ALSO has a slightly different visual, like Peni Parker, spidergirl of earth- 14512 - LOOKS more like a cell shaded anime character like in series like RWBY. and the soundtrack is very well done....over all though.....id be one to admit it may be my favorite piece of spiderman media outside of the comics



( ps: dark haired peter is not TECHNICALLY the main 616.Despite taking place in a separate reality, this universe shares the same name as Earth-616 but is Earth TRN-701, the film takes place in Earth TRN-700 )


oh yeah, and lets not forget my favorite spider currently

Anyone here play Yakuza 0? I hear it's a very wacky game and Id like more feedback before I get it. I'm trying to budget my gaming...it can get out of hand.

I've been binging Star Trek Discovery. It's really good. The writing is good and the acting is good and the special effects are movie quality. Wikipedia says that the per show budget is 8 million.

You have to get CBS All Access at $5.99 a month, but you can always get the 2 week trial.

Morrigan
02-11-2019, 11:20 AM
or know good safe streaming sites :) discovery is good... its not star trek at all still...if you want TNG style you still need to stick with orville ( discovery even borrowed a few jokes ive seen from orville for this season ) it's way more what a sci-fantasy fan...more like star wars once was, but more of the action less techy stuff, as opposed to the slower burning social plots of sci-fi

Me too!

Y'all gonna be waiting a long time. ESO is so popular they've stated that Elder Scrolls 6 isn't really a priority. You might see a Dragon Age game come out before a new Elder Scrolls. I found this online:

.Howard said that repeatedly switching between Elder Scrolls and Fallout was exhausting for the developers at Bethesda Game studios, saying that "we had done so many things, we were going Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Fallout... You have this Starfield game in your head, you sort of say, well, when? It can be never, you could say never. But look, we're creatives, and it's like we have to make this game, and this is the time. So Elder Scrolls 6 is going to have to wait a little bit. And plus, again, Elder Scrolls Online is doing so well, it's so vibrant, that this is the time, both for us creatively and our audience". Games Radar (https://www.gamesradar.com/elder-scrolls-6-release-date-location-news-races/)

Does anyone here play ESO?

Yes it does look amazing! It just might be enough to help cure my GOT withdrawal. Ive started reading the Witcher series and I'm not caught up yet. I had to abandon the game for now because the load screens on PS4 are super slow. I've read this is a common issue for Witcher III on PS4. I may start again on PC?

The books are just fantastic IMHO. Very different from the "hero slays the dragon and has lunch with the gods" style. He has the peasants talk, farmers, monsters, everyone has their perspective which he explores.

It is different. It's not a complete fix for Skyrim, but it's something. I haven't purchased the Elsewyr chapter yet because I'm still playing the base game.

I'm finally gonna get into A Plagues Tale in a few days. It's a linear story and I want to be able to have enough time to play and get into the story.
